Deep learning is fundamentally about learning hierarchical representations directly from data by training large parameterized models end-to-end with gradient descent, and this graduate course treats it as such — starting from loss surfaces and backprop, then building up to the architectures (CNNs, RNNs/attention, VAEs/GANs, deep RL) that dominate modern vision and language work. Expect a written midterm, a homework, a literature survey with a presentation, and a sizable course project where you read recent papers and implement something nontrivial in a framework like PyTorch. It assumes you are already comfortable with linear algebra, probability, and classical ML at the level of CS 464/maybe Murphy or Bishop, and it is the standard launching pad at Bilkent for thesis work in computer vision, NLP, or generative modeling.

There is no final exam for this course, however, any one of the following will directly result in an F grade: (1) not submitting a project or homework (including report), (2) not preparing/presenting a survey on the pre-scheduled date, (3) being absent in the midterm, (4) being absent in a project presentation.
